Will SEC witchunt kill TOTAL3?! What does it need?? SEC wants to crack down on crypto market
This is a means to control the flow of money. Every nation across time does not want to see their money flow out of their 'bloc'. If Binance continues to be a behemoth in the new finance space whilst CZ is in China.. this will continued to be perceived as a threat. I dont have extra information into Binance but regardless the Western bloc doesnt want Binance to be taking retail or corporate USD/EUR/GBP/AUD/CAD/etc en masse. Just as China does not want US tech companies to dominate a space like search for Chinese people.
This will consolidate the market
If SEC is successful (i dont know if they will be) then it will consolidate the market. This consolidation can be great for TOTAL3. Personal views aside if the flow of money is clear for larger actors then floodgates can open. From retirement funds to sovereign wealth funds to even treasuries.
Who would lose ?
Many altcoins could be damaged beyond point of recovery. Recovery I mean getting back to where they were. Many can dwindle into obscurity and became harder and harder to participate in. The real loser out of a consolidation of the crypto market will be retail and class mobility.
What to do about it ?
The upside potential of many smaller altcoins can easily tempt many to dump their bags into those with greatest upside. Regardless of SEC and regulation these smallest ones have the most risk. It is important not to be too lopsided in high risk crypto when crypto itself as an index is down 70%+ ie 3.3x to highs. There is plenty of gains out there within the bigger players who are more likely to rise above regulation and be where money is pushed to.
Who wins ?
As I imagine will be the case for at least another 10+ years.. the winner will be bitcoin. It will be hard to stop. Even anti crypto regulation will help bitcoin. It may be the biggest and seem like the least upside but it is increasingly important to have some exposure to the sun. Sun=BTC.
